Napavine Falls to Toutle, Takes Third in C2BL
TOUTLE — The Tigers couldn't get started early while Toutle Lake blazed to a 25-8, 25-16, 26-24 Central 2B League victory to wrap up the regular season. Mollie Olson posted 12 kills and eight digs, but the offense sputtered for Napavine.
"Our girls came out two steps behind and we couldn't get anything going until the third game," Napavine coach Monica Dailey said. "We had a lot of trouble finding the court and didn't have a lot of communication. It wasn't the team we've seen all year long so I hope we've gotten this out of our system."
Angel Parker added four kills and a block kill while Makayla Dailey added four kills and nine digs.
The loss puts the Tigers (7-2 league, 10-4 overall) third in the final C2BL standings. They’ll face the No. 5 team out of the Pacific 2B League at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday at Northwest Christian School in Lacey in the first round of the District 4 tournament.
